Anyone else surprised at how poorly his reviews have aged and how many times he was way off about how important/influental a band or artist would be.
>"That's why I made the case for the McGarrigle Sisters and against Black Sabbath in Consumer Guide to the '70s."
Who the fuck actually remembers the McGarrigle Sisters?

They’ve aged well cause even back then everyone knew he was retarded
lose weight
There's nothing wrong with that. Lester Bangs does that and everyone loves him. I guess people just couldn't figure out they need to tack on a "y'all know this is just my opinion right" at the end of every review.
Dude was hated by the entire NYC scene in the 70s-80s. I'm glad James Chance decked him and the Stranglers sent him death threats.
wish someone would do that to Fantano

My grandma listens to them
Why did they hate him?
It's like Thurston Moore said. He didn't give a shit about the NYC scene or promoting bands. Instead of covering the many interesting developments at the time, he chose to waste page space in the Voice reviewing stuff like Ohio Players albums, which let's be honest, can be fun, but there's no real content or songwriting there, it's just dance grooves. And tons of other crap like Leo Sayer or whatever that was useless music he thought would be more interesting to write about than no wave or the hardcore scene.
he is such a cuck
